A novel sonochemical process, using hydrogen peroxide in a laboratory ultrasonic bath, was employed to pretreat the carbon nanofiber (CNF) for creating oxygen-rich groups on the surface of CNF. After the sonochemical process, the CNF showed good hydrophilicity and high electrochemical activity. Compared to normal pretreatment process, this sonochemical process is timesaving and effective for dispersion and functionalization of CNF. The resulting CNF showed high catalytic activity toward the oxidation of DA. A carbon paste electrode modified by CNF (CPE-CNF) was used to determine the dopamine (DA) in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA). The detection limit is 0.05 μM, with the linear range from 0.05 μM to 6.4 μM.

A new amperometric sensor is prepared based on a Ag doped NaA nanozeolite modified carbon paste electrode (Ag/ACPE) in order to detect hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in phosphate buffer solution (PBS, pH 7.0).
